Workflow does not start automatically on create item (yet another time)

The topic has been discussed broadly throughout different forums, but I didn't find the solution to my issue yet and hope you can help me out with ideas to sidestep the difficulties created by Microsoft.
I have one list 1 in Site Collection A, and one list 2 in Site Collection B (PWA site collection). I need to copy an item from list 1 to list 2 with some values. I use a "Call http web service" action to accomplish
that as I need to copy informatin cross site collections.
The "Call webservice" is in an App Step, because the user creating an item in list 1 does not have permissions on list 2. Thus, my item is created "by workflow" (not "by System Account") in list 2. Now I need a second
workflow to start on list 2 which will create a project in Project Server.
As I am working across 2 site collections, I can not use a SharePoint 2010 workflow with impersonation step for list 1 as the "Call a webservice" action is not available for SP2010 workflows and "Copy item" only works in the same site.
In Nintex I can impersonate the web service call - is this also somehow possible for SPD2013 workflows? Or is there any other possibility to get over this silly restriction of workflows not starting automatically on System account created items? Someway
perhaps to tweak the App Step in impersonating with another user account?
Any help appreciated!
I really can't understand, that this common requirement is still not solved by Microsoft :-( I found more threads on the topic than I can count, so this seems to happen quite often... at least they should finally offer a proper way of doing some kind
of impersonation with the calls so we have a chance to change the creating user account.

Hi,
As I understand, you would like to use workflow to copy list items cross site collection.
So far it is not supported with OOB workflow option, here is an codeplex workaround:

Sharepoint 2013 workflow does not start when item is created by another workflow

Hi I am having the next problem, I have a workflow on list B that starts when a new item is created. If I created the item manually the workflow works. Now I have a list A that has a workflow that creates a new item in List B. The problem is that when
de workflow in list A creates the list item in list B the workflow does not start.
I've used an account that is collection owner, an account that only has contribute permision and nothing works.
Any ideas?

Hi Courfeyrak,
Here is another similar post with a workaround, you can try using the event receiver on listB item to start the workflow, when the listB item is created or updated by the workflow associated with listA.

Workflow Does not Start If Created by Another Workflow

Hi,
Hope someone can help me here.
I am using SharePoint 2013 Server and have created two workflows running on two separate lists (workflow 1 runs on list 1 and workflow 2 runs on list 2).
Workflow 1 creates an item in List 2. The workflow on list 2 does not kick off when the item is created.
I have tried both SharePoint Designer 2013 workflow and Visual Studio 2013 no code solutions (I have elevated privileges for the workflow app).
The link below is what I am experiencing, although there doesn't seem to be a solution.

I am in the process of installing the latest CUs too see if this has been rectified.
Thanks,
Nigel

Hi Nigel,
Yes, this is the default SharePoint behavior that SharePoint 2013 workflow does not start when item is created by another workflow.
For a workaround, you can create a event receiver on the List 2 to start the workflow 2 when an item is created.

SharePoint Retention Policy workflow does not start

Hi,
Using Nintex workflows I have created a workflow and attached it to a content type and tested that it runs manually ok. I want it to run according to a retention policy, and so I created a policy based on one of the content type's date fields to start
my workflow automatically. When I manually run the timer jobs I see the following error in ULS logs and the workflow does not start. Interestingly if I amend the policy to do something simple like move the item to the recycle bin, that works fine.
Can anyone suggest what is wrong and where I can go from here to find the issue?
Thanks

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the Retention Policy cannot start the Nintex workflow.
To narrow the issue scope, I recommend to check the things below:
Create a SharePoint 2010 Reusable workflow for the same content type or 2013 list workflow and modify the Retention Policy to start this workflow, and then check how it works.
Create Retention Policy with the Nintex workflow in another list and then compare the results.
Thanks,
Victoria

How to solve this problem that I have

i've had a few issues like this.
I've found that it is an issue with items that are already on your phone.
several troubleshoots.
1) uncheck everything from syncing (apps, music, tv shows, movies, podcasts, etc), try to perform a sync, it most likely will work. Then, sync after checking each item individually (check the sync box for videos, then sync, check the sync box for podcasts, then sync, check the sync box for music, then sync, etc). One of two things will happen, 1) you will fix the problem, or 2) you will identify exactly what part of the sync setup is the culprit.
2) if the above doesn't work, I've found that it is likely an issue with files that are on your phone but your phone doesn't exaclty recognize (for example, I had copies of music on my phone that didn't show up in the music app, I went in on itunes and manually deleted those songs from my phone and that fixed the sync). to do this, check the "manually manage music and videos" box at the bottom of "summary" while your phone is connected to itunes. Then, go to the left hand pane in itunes and find your iphone device, click the drop-down arrow that shows all the categories for media on your iphone. Go to the music category in your iphone on itunes and delete all the music that shows up. Try to perform a sync - it likely will work. After this, you can uncheck the manually manage music box and re-sync your phone as normal
let me know if either works

Cluster resource does not start automatically

Hello,
I have a strange issue. last saterday i replaced the motherboards of three HP DL380G6 servers, there is an HW issue with the production date of this hardware.
After change of the HW, the cluster resources does not start automatically, when booting the servers. The resources come in state 'offline'(except the master IP resource). When start manually, the cluster resources works fine. I checked the eDirectory , and changed also the startup parameter of the cluster (autostart-manually-autostart) but with no results.
When i create a new (simple) CL-resource, i have the same issue with this resource. Only the master ip CL-resource starts automatically??
Does anyone have an answer for this problem....
Thanks in advanced

Please check the attribute "NCS:CRM Failover Mode" of the resource object in eDir. If its value is an odd number, it means the resource will load automatically. If it's not, add 1 to the number and save the new value.
Then, you need to check file "/var/opt/novell/ncs/resources.xml". Find the section for the resource, and check "nCSCRMFailoverMode" to make sure it matches what you have in eDir. If not, please run command "/opt/novell/ncs/bin/ncs-configd.py -init" to try to update it.
If the problem persists after all the above, please contact NTS. We will have it resolved.

Absence request workflow does not start

Hello, I have created a workflow for absence request and I configured it in transaction PTARQ for my absence type.
I tried several times making an absence request from portal but the workflow does not start. I have also seen in transaction PTARQ that the request was really made and has status SENT but has no workflow associated.
Any help?
Thanks

Hi Mário,
Check using transaction SWIA to see if the workflow is actually started by the leave creation (if not could be a problem with the event trigger)? If it is started, you should see in SWIA where the workflow stops/breaks down, normally this is due to missing container elements or bindings.
Good luck!

My database does not start automatically

i am using windows 2000 server and oracle 9.0.1, my database does not start automatically when i am booting the system.
in regedit autostart is there, my service is getting started automatically and i used startmode auto in my oradim command but still i have to manually log in to start the database, PLS help!!!
another issue is that i want to startup/shutdown the database using a user other than sysdba, pls tell which permission shud i grant as dba, connect, resource permissions are not doing the required job

spfile concept is introduced from Oracle 9i. You can call it system parameter file. Benefits of having spfile concept is that what ever changes u make to system through commands
alter system set ??? = ????
get automatically saved in the spfile???.ora which is managed by Oracle.
Main idea behind that as thought by Oracle is that previously u needed to change that parameter in init.ora file then start the database again after shutdown. Now u are doing everything online. spfile???.ora takes priority in the new Oracle concept.
If u delete spfile???.ora file, then it needs some specific init.ora which need to told to Oracle which can be through command like
startup pfile='complete patah .............'

Tomcat5 still does not start automatically

Novell-tomcat5 still does not start automatically at boot although it is set to do so.
This is from beginning of the oes2/SBE2.5 installation (without simba).
It is still the same behavior after applying OES2/SP2 and SLES10/SP3 patches.

Of course it es even a cosmetic problem I don't want to start tomcat manually everytime when booting up.
Has anybody an idea what could be wrong?

Hi Oliver,
If you are manually installing the component products then this is no longer a "NOWS SBE" installation. Any issues you encounter are related solely to the component products. OES Linux Installation questions should be directed to: OES-L: Install
In the mean time, to see if it is configured to start automatically use "chkconfig". For instructions:
Code:
man chkconfig
Is it configured to start automatically?
Code:
server:~ # chkconfig --list | grep novell-tomcat5
novell-tomcat5 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off
The response from the above command shows that novell-tomcat5 should start automatically for runlevels 3 and 5.
If it is not set to start automatically on your server, you can make it start by:
Code:
chkconfig novell-tomcat5 on
I am by no means a Linux expert. If this doesn't resolve your issue, I suggest you post in the appropriate forum where you will find knowledgeable people willing to help.

MII UDS does not start automatically on server reset, although it was set as automatically start.
What could be the reason of this problem?
Thanks.

EyeTV: Mac does not start automatically

Mac does not start automatically for EyeTV recordings. I reinstalled EyeTV but it did not help.
Any help appreciated.

I have to same problem: Bought Elgato Sat 3 years ago. Now I decided to install it in the living room and bought a new i5 Mac mini. EyeTV works fine but does not wake up Mountain Lion 10.8.2 sometimes.
When I program wake up events manually via System Preferences or pmset command in the terminal, all works fine and my Mac wakes up. I tried everything, from clean reinstall to debugging AutoWake.plist and such.
Annoying!

The CSSD does not start automatically on Non-RAC - AIX 5L

Hi all,
Database: Oracle 10.2.0.4
O.S AIX 5.3 TL 10
I am facing a problem with the CSSD Non-RAC/Clusterware.
When we restarted the server the service CSSD does not start automatically and there is no relevant messages in the log files of CSSD.
Running the "localconfig reset $ORACLE_HOME", execute successfully but does not start the CSSD.
Running "/etc/init.cssd start" - does not work, nothing happens when we run it
I manually ran "/etc/ init.cssd run" and the service CSSD (ossd.bin) was started without errors.
No errors on errpt from AIX.
I've opened a SR but I am waiting for response from Oracle.

Hi,
I believe this problem is not with Oracle, but in AIX.It may be that one process that is starting on boot is holding the other process. You need to identify what is process/application.
Check the process on inittab that are already active and which are inactive they should be active.
One clue: Is very common process that is initiated in wait mode hold the boot server.
wait
When the init command enters the run level that matches the entry's run level,
start the process and wait for its termination.
All subsequent reads of the /etc/inittab file while the init
command is in the same run level will cause the init command to ignore this entry.http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.files/doc/aixfiles/inittab.htm

Panel does not start automatically in Gnome 2.24.3

Since Gnome 2.24.3, the Gnome Panel does not start automatically.
I had to manualy add it to the startup group via "Sessions" in order to force it to start when login finishes.
Does anybody has the same behavior?
Should I report it as a bug?

That may be true but it is a real pain since when it happens the only way to recover is to terminate all of the iTunes modules with task manager and start it manually. It also leaves the IPOD in a state that says do not disconnect. You can disconnect since nothing is really happening but there is no excuse for this not to start much faster. When you have multiple users it is a real pain. It ought to be able to either end when finished or better yet allow multiple users simultaneously updating from different libraries.
I guess i will just have to get in the habit of treating it as a single user and start and stop it every time I need it and be suer not to let it run. Not nice because that means waiting for larger Podcast downloads instead of having there ready for me when I sign on my computer.
